    I have this one...

    ...and LOVE IT.

    Fits a full size spare no problem.

    Only "mod" needed was longer bolts to fit our VX roof bar....and wind 'em down tight to bend the baskets straps to conform to our roof bar shape.

    I still don't understand why Coleman discontinued their rack. It's such a nice sturdy rack for so cheap!

    You're preaching to the choir Bart. It was the perfect rack for the VX.

    Well, I think the one Jo linked to would be a good idea. That one looks pretty good, and I have seen it first hand on the ORW and it looks good up there.

    Looks like it, I have a the same one as you (CrnCnn). Mine doesn't have the peice in the front but otherwise its the same. I bought it because it was cheap, could hold some weight (150LBS), and its flatish. IMHO I like low profile baskets on the VX because they flow better with the body style.

    Yeah, I liked that one too. It seems that whenever you find something you really like, it's not around anymore.
